Java Plugin

[Micro Bean]

need help for some reason When I go to chatroom which uses java applet it loads so slow and when i type it loads slow and it freezes up. Can anyone tell me how to fix this and is there an alternative to JAVA ... This is getting really annoying. OS Im using is WIN XP home Thanx guys If u need more specs let me know.

I use the Sun JRE for all Java applications. I find it offers improved compatibility over Microsoft's version.

You may want to remove the Microsoft JVM, which Microsoft no longer supports, in favor of the more recent Sun Microsystems' JVM. To remove the Microsoft JVM, perform the following steps:
1. From the Start menu, select Run.
2. Enter the command

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection java.inf,UnInstall

to start the uninstall process
3. Click Yes to the confirmation, then select Reboot.
4. After the machine restarts, delete the following items:
- the \%systemroot%\java folder
- java.pnf from the \%systemroot%\inf folder
- jview.exe and wjview.exe from the \%systemroot%\system32 folder
- the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Java VM registry
subkey
- the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\AdvancedOptions\JAVA_VM registry subkey (to remove the
Microsoft Internet Explorer--IE--options)

Microsoft JVM is now removed.

Now you can install the Sun Version.

Nice info,thx Speedo.
I use Sun also, but it seems much slower to load than VM.
